Description: The simple, empirical, surprisingly accurate and venerable Arrhenius equation, based upon the work of Van't Hoff, is very useful for summarising large bodies of experimentally determined diffusion data for a given host/diffusant system. It is the first port of call for any researcher planning new diffusion studies, or for engineers who need to estimate heat-treatment times in manufacturing processes. The present compilation covers Arrhenius parameters for the host-metals: aluminum, barium, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, gallium, gold, hafnium, indium, iridium, iron, lead, lithium, magnesium, molybdenum, nickel, niobium, palladium, platinum, potassium, rhodium, ruthenium, scandium, silver, sodium, tantalum, thallium, thorium, tin, titanium, tungsten, vanadium, zinc and zirconium. The 1315 entries cover the period from 1927 to 2013.

Description: The purpose of this special volume was to provide young scientists from Asian countries with the opportunity of exchanging information on scientific research. It covers recent progress, achievements and innovations made in the field of advanced materials research and technology for a sustainable future world; especially in India, Japan and other Asian countries. The selected papers include experimental studies of structure, electrical and magnetic properties, thermodynamic and electrochemical properties, absorption, luminescence, permeability and self-assembly in systems involving steel and aluminum alloys, nanoparticles, nanowires, nanoplates, multilayers, thin films, membranes and multifunctional materials.

Description: This issue covers, in the form of abstracts, the work which has been reported between the previous retrospective and the end of 2001. The choice of abstracts is guided by criteria such as accessibility, data content and description of important new techniques, phenomena or anomalies. But there is also a thorough coverage of more qualitative features of diffusion and defect phenomena, computer modelling and theory. The volume also includes, as usual, a number of invited review and experimental papers which treat a wide range of topics in the field.
The more theoretical review papers presented here cover the modelling of intergranular segregation and diffusion in alloys, as well as the impact of electron theory. The more practical aspects of diffusion are described by reviews concerning interdiffusion in coatings and long-term thermomechanical behaviour.
